My Bike Setup For Bikepacking SPAIN

[@cardiaccyclist7477]

An impressive display of upper body strength, the way you were tossing that 180 lb frame pump around!!!!

[@Cade_Media]

😂

[@deadpool8340]

Shout out to “Bonking” in Benidorm

[@serdiezv]

Hey, just as a heads up, in Spain you always have to have a rear light! They can ticket you up to 80€

[@thecrowfliescrooked]

Jimmi, with regards to torx bolts. It's because rotor bolts have to have shallow heads in order to clear the fork leg or dropout when mounted. A head this shallow would not work as an allen key and would round out quickly - Hence torx fittings.

[@vaughanc4919]

The banter between you two is priceless

[@Toothbreaker1990]

I just came back from bikepacking in Spain two weeks ago, also started from Alicante. But i rode south along the coast to malaga. Did 1250 km in 8 Days (+2 Days of rest in between). Realy nice roads and weather was also great. The only negative thing are the traffic habbits in spain, a lot of roundabouts with weird rules and speed-bumps. But beside this, i would recommend spain! especially in autumn, when the weather in the rest of europe is not that great anymore.

[@jambo2502]

Roundabouts are only an issue because Spanish people seem allergic to using their indicators.

[@kevinlyon9501]

That all looked rather lovely, thought Jimmi's bike might attract a bit of attention.

[@malcontent_1]

This is going to be a fun trip 👍 And glad to see Jimmi's daytime blinky light -- safety first!

[@mitchelltucker8780]

Can’t get over how sick Jimmi’s new bike is

[@Jimmidoesstuff]

Me neither

[@justmartyking]

Really enjoyed this video. Not sure that I have ever seen Jimmi so relaxed before. Looks like you both are having fun.

[@MJarthur95]

Jimmis custom bike is 🔥👌🏽

[@K777John]

Love Jimmy’s frame pump-I thought I was the only person who used one of those……mind you mine came with a Raleigh Hybrid I bought in 1992 and which now lives on my gravel bike because it fits. It’s not as posh looking as Jimmy’s-but it works just the same-I still carry a CO2 inflator-don’t know why, I just do…..

[@dems2632]

brilliant setup

[@jamed63]

I always had a frame pump in the 80s, didn't know they were still a thing, proper old school.

[@Fellgrim]

You litteraly rode with past my house, In the San Juan opening shots!

[@A_AAA232]

great vlog and content Francis, nice bike set up run down - Jimmi''s on form and that frame is super nice! enjoy bikepacking and getting away from the UK weather and muddy trails :)

[@fra2er]

Made me realise how much I miss a cycling trips and Calpe - think a long weekend trip is order as prep for tour of Flanders 😃

[@reddawn87]

Pretty darn awesome! Didn't realise there were racks that could be fitted to carbon frames!

[@David-vb8tg]

That prologo saddle digs into my thighs aswell. Came stock on my aspero. I need to get rid of it.

[@Will-dk5sd]

Super excited for a new bike packing series!

[@petefarrell234]

Jimmi’s bike looks sick 😎💪🏼

[@cheese5633]

Jimmi honestly cracks me up 😂

[@darrendewsbery8239]

“ Human shoes”. Love it 🤣🤙

[@Sem84]

Great vibe! Jimmi is one of the best sidekicks in your videos :) Seems like you run into some ol' fatty cyclist fans from the Netherlands at the Tango bar Looking forward to the next episodes

[@explosante]

That asymmetric bag setup on the rear would drive me crazy

[@dryphos]

I did that Intinerary two years ago, also in November. but the other way around, from Sevilla down to Gibraltar, and then along the cost to Valencia. I chose taht direction because of the predominant wind direction that blows smostly eastwards. Could you update on one of the videos on how you are finding the wind direction? Thanks and as always, amaying content! Keep it up!

[@Cade_Media]

it's not very windy at all, but when it is it's slightly headwind!

[@mR_dubb]

Is there a link to download/view the entire route? Would love to do a Spain trip like this. Cheers!

[@WhatxKeepsxUsxHere]

Idea/Tip for your Pump / Frame Pump - stick some spare Gorilla tape as Backup sealing / fix tape :)

[@TravelingThru222]

Cool video, looks like a great ride.

[@davidrae8475]

torque keys are the devil's tools, thnx SRAM ;)

[@kitkat5153]

What’s that camera strap Jimmi is using and does it protect the camera from sweat?

[@neilbirchall3363]

You sharing the route chaps? Might follow you. Cheers

[@carerra911]

Hi Pal love the videos , please could you ask your friend where he got his camera strap from as I’m struggling to find a strap for riding many many thanks 🙏

[@Jimmidoesstuff]

What a great day!

[@nicolaspaquet4151]

Yay bikepacking trip!

[@liamc9425]

Great video, what brand are the stem bags. I’m planning my first solo bike packing trip in the uk. Thanks

[@neil3124]

Human shoes! I’m creased 🤣

[@JoeCincotta307]

Have fun boys!

[@Akhichris]

May i ask what pannier racks are you using?

[@ellon118]

what shoes are you using with your SPD peddles? Great video, I wish it was that nice weather in Scotland right now! ha ha

[@davidalderson7761]

Less is more in Spain, far too many places to stay for very good rates as well as washing machines in laundry in the street that are cleaner than operating theatres in the UK. Took one set of bike clothes and one set of night clothes, great food every single day, coffee of the finest in the world, people of each region competing to be the nicest, and car drivers that actually care about pedestrians and cyclists everywhere. There is nothing to not like in Spain. A bit of Spanish helps and google translate in many villages will help at the rest. Northern Spain is super gorgeous and cooler too.

[@pesomasagravedad]

Aquarius is the best!

[@user-fs9qf3py9o]

Jimmi is battling James for most entertaining Francis bike packing buddy lol

[@crankgreenwatts]

Fantastic vlog and content as always 👌

[@Velobetty]

Hah, at 7:23 is the hotel we stay in on winter training camp! 😁

[@likeaspacemonkey]

@Jimmi where can I get one of those camera straps?? Innoclip seems like it disappeared... all I can find is an instagram page that hasn't been updated in years.

[@Mitching90]

Whats jimmis camera strap?

[@Richz2]

Are you not going to any mountain bike races this year now?

[@stradesecondarie]

hey! where can i find the innoclip camera strap? i rellay can't find it on the internet, other than some images looks like this product is a ghost!

[@Laucycle]

Haha it gets colder close Barcelona (the NORTH😂)

[@Cade_Media]

phew! just like home

[@trickyd99]

We’ve all done a bit of bonking in Benidorm FC. Any chance you might be bumping into LC and CH on your travels? I notice they are also in Spain 🤔

[@scottmcrobb6937]

I actually messed up my SRAM disc caliper mount bolts by not realising they were Torx and using a Hex wrench on them. Ended up rounding the heads on them. Caused no end of hassle and hacksawing to get them off to replace them.

[@Cade_Media]

damn!

[@chenmunhong]

That's cool. What does it mean by Gravel/All road bike?

[@bedney45]

Nice description of the pump by Jimmi. Do you all use CO2 cartridges and what do you think?

[@KerenWang]

... are there any tailfin coupon codes (big eyes)

[@ab12gu]

What sunglasses is Francis wearing?

[@jeremymeadows8926]

Jimmi, what camera strap are you using 🤷🏼‍♂️😂

[@darrenrose9871]

I'm seriously reading the comments tonight just to find the answer to that!

[@patrickmcevoy]

Also interested to know.

[@felixjackson2670]

Brilliant. Here in Donegal the question is.. which rain top,full overshoes or toe covers and can I get away with just neoprene gloves,or shall I wear liners too. Enjoy.. Makes me laugh when pumps enter the discussion. Not too long ago everyone used frame fit pumps,cheap as chips..then mini pumps,which are OK on the road if you get a decent one,cheap ones useless. Now frame fit pumps being re-introduced as a ‘luxury’ costly item at an obscene price. Glad I still have my Silca frame fit pump and ‘Campag’ adapter from the 1970’s.

[@scottcottontx]

Damn, Jimi. Is that a pump on your frame or are you just happy to be in Spain? Trust Jimi to have the Ferrari, overcompensating version of a bike pump. How far did you make it in dental school before you quit? Just kidding, hope you guys are having/have had a great time. You are truly lucky to have each other. Good homies are hard to find.

[@nelsoneduardoo]

What bike is that mate ?

[@Alphard_adventures]

Brilliant 👍🏼

[@grahamgibson3737]

I can't believe the Benidorm Palace car is still on the road.

[@WhatxKeepsxUsxHere]

Sram always uses Torx and usually one size for everything. PS - do you know what SRAM means in Polish ? ::) :)

[@jacksonschroederproductions]

ahahahahahah

[@JustJamesMedia]

I see you took the latest edition wind muffler with you on the trip? haha!

[@davidhawkins9206]

What do you mean by 'bread legs'? Good/bad thing?

[@Cade_Media]

when you eat too much bread and your legs feel rubbish!

Francis, what mm tire are you running on this road set up? Thank you!

[@Cade_Media]

30mm!

It’s a prototype alloy bike for a new brand.

[@tomasberg3374]

@@Jimmidoesstuff Nice, I hope to see more of it...

[@percival3830]

So, as one who always seeks the most car-free route when riding, I am surprised that you seem to be sticking to 'main' roads. Is there not an App or website that would suggest a more cycle-friendly route?

[@sergiolego2001]

Does anyone know what’s his camera?

GoPro hero10 and canon eos-r 👍

Are you getting Jimmi to fix all your flats like James used to?

[@Jimmidoesstuff]

Thankfully none thus far

[@Cade_Media]

Definitely

[@janknoblich4129]

9:08 what is outrageous that he didn't show the yacht

[@AdrianWells]

Out of interest, What sort of normal human shoes do you use when bikepacking? I guess I'm somewhat unfortunate when it comes to bike-packing, as a tall person, because all my stuff takes up a lot more space... My regular human shoes would take up most of the space in my tailfin. I usually end up strapping some barefoot shoes to the outside of the tailfin as they have a minimal profile but having had achilles issues, these are not ideal.

[@Cade_Media]

just normal trainers for me, they are quite flat though and squash down in the bottom of the aeropack - could do sliders if you were short on space and strap them to the outside because it won't matter if sliders get wet 🤔

[@Cade_Media]

downside is you'd have to walk around in sliders all the time...

[@DavidHardy-xy9ep]

I really wanna buy some of these human shoes Francis, are they available on the Attacus website or are they going to be released by WILD?? 😂😂

[@Cade_Media]

we'll have to design some, I think they'll catch on

hey all

[@GibboTraining]

“Why would sram decide to use torx screws on brake callipers?” yes sram why would you? I can feel Jimmi’s annoyance/frustration deeply

[@marekholub8668]

Because torx is generally better than hex key. They are less prone to stripping.

[@mayeullatreille8894]

@@marekholub8668 1000% agree w/ you. I've worked as a bike mechanic and the number of damaged/worned hex/allen screws (idk) was mindboggling. they are a mechanics worst nightmare

[@GibboTraining]

@@marekholub8668 very good point, but my annoyance comes from never being able to find my damn torx wrenches whereas I have a million hex keys

[@marekholub8668]

@@GibboTraining Buy some. I use torx wherever I can. It's the best bolt/screw type. You can put much higher torque through the key and it doesn't strip. It's awesome for connecting lumber too.

[@Yannick11]

Human shoes?!!

[@bellavia5]

No way , no how I'm going to lug a laptop around with me for a bike tour. The WHOLE bloody point of going on tour is to vacate all the cyber-techno- dead tech bullshit shenanigans and get OUT in the world. Ooh that burns my barnacles.

Another excellent video, thanks, keep them coming! One more observation, why wearing all black? Please don't tell me it looks cool, you're not 12 and neither am I. Who the hell was responsible some years ago for starting the bloody idiotic trend of wearing black? How many deaths and serious injuries has this caused? Please have the balls to buck this stupid trend and your videos wud be max 100% every time.
